Now what?

By A-Dub 63 Raps

You know, this might just be a good thing after all. Only after a good spanking like this one will people begin to realize the truth. We have a flawed team, to the core. I had the good fortune of doing the Atlanta postgame, and some people took offense to my inclusion of the world “luck” in describing the Raptors comeback, feel-good victory.

Bottoms up, Raps luck one out in the 4th

By A-Dub 120 Raps

Like so many times this year, the Toronto Raptors pulled out a game at home that they probably shouldn’t have. Yes, they got lucky on St. Patrick’s day at the end, but for a while it looked like they’d had a few brews at halftime, laying down another clunker in the third quarter.

Thank you John Hammond

By A-Dub 26 Raps

Thank you for relinquishing two players with oodles of potential without practising some due diligence. Thanks for not exercising some caution when dealing with a GM who has hoodwinked so many in the past. Thanks for helping to inject some much needed youth, athleticism, and hustle into this lineup. Even if these two players ultimately don’t pan out, at the very least, thanks for helping us win tonight’s game. You had everything to with what transpired tonight.

Jarret Jack stars on Basketball Night in Canada

By A-Dub 55 Raps

I was already thinking of all the possible Maple Leaf Saturday Night Hockey references as this game started slipping away from the Raps in the 4th, but thankfully Jay Triano finally inserted Jarret Jack back into the game with 6 minutes to go.

CB4 paces BALL-less Raps to victory

By A-Dub 71 Raps

The Raptors notched another confidence-building, team-bonding, towel-waving win in the stretch of very winnable games, disposing of the Indiana Pacers 117-102. The Pacers turned out to be a pesty opponent, one that seemed to be improved from earlier battles with a healthy Mike Dunleavy and a pine-riding TJ Ford. But this Rap team has become even better in the last couple of months

Raps zone in and pull out a victory

By A-Dub 84 Raps

Bucks 101, Raptors 96
Reflecting on the game after the Raps pulled off a 101 – 96 thriller, piecing together my thoughts for the RR recap, and I’m thinking. Where do you start?
Hedo Turkoglu’s continuing struggles while under the glaring spotlight punctuated by a (relieving) flash of brilliance late in the game?
Jarret Jack’s best game [...]

Rajin’ Rondo leads C**tics to victory

By A-Dub 38 Raps

Hot off two impressive road victories this past week, the Toronto Raptors were humbled on their own homecourt by a well-oiled Boston Celtics squad. It doesn’t matter who the Celts trot out on the court, they just always seem to have the Raps number. Last time, they had Rajon Rondo, Paul Pierce and [...]

That was easy…Nets swamped by Raps

By A-Dub 35 Raps

Bosh drives in for another uncontested layup.
Nets 95, Raptors 118
We could use more of these. The Toronto Raptors put on a clinic tonight, racing out to a 39-15 lead in the first and never looked back, disposing of the New Jersey Nets 118-95. Even the most pessimistic Raptor fan had to feel that [...]
